new tonight. ing a young politician who lost her life -- remembering a young politician who lost her life in a tragic accident. today dozens gathered to remember natasha pettigrew. an suv hit and killed her while she was riding her bike. >> friends and family say the vigil was not about mourning her but about celebrating her life and legacy. >> we're going to celebrate natasha's life. amen? >> amen. >> reporter: a celebration of life drowning out the sorrow of loss. dozens gather to remember natasha pettigrew. >> she was a fighter, full of a lot of energy. >> reporter: family and friends say the 30-year-old was determined to change the status quo. she had recently taken a leave of absence from her third year in law school at university of miami to run for senate as the green party candidate. her mother is still struggling with her daughter's death since pettigrew wanted to make a difference. >> she wanted to be an

inspiration to others and certainly is indicative of her desire to be an inspiration to others. >> reporter: former green party presidential candidate cynthia mckinney who came to the vigil to offer her condolences says pettigrew would have been a force. >> she was a candidate for a party that represents peace and now more than ever we need peace. so natasha was a role model. >> reporter: pettigrew was training alone for a triathlon. it was during a bike ride early sunday morning along route 202 in largo that an suv hit her. the driver did not stop but hours later called police to stay she thought she had hit a deer. pettigrew's bike was still stuck in the grille of the suv. >> there's still a bunch of questions that we all have especially once we finally saw the actual site. it still don't make sense at all. >> reporter: family and friends say they want to focus on petty grew's life and not her death, so in song and prayer. >> bless her, bless her as now

she's seen the promised land. >> reporter: they remember the young woman who wanted to make a difference, her legacy living on in the lives she touched in her far too few years. >> she lived her life the way she wanted others to remember her. >> reporter: pettigrew's mother said she also wanted the vigil to call attention to the need for more bike lanes in prince george's county and better awareness of cyclists on the road. it's a cause she's vowing to take the to state lawmakers in annapolis and congress, too. no charges have been filed against the driver of that suv so far. another candlelight vigil tonight to remember a d.c. murder victim, friends and family gathering on columbia road northwest to remember ashley mccray. she was found shot to death early saturday morning on bruce place southeast. her sister last saw her leaving a nightclub with a man she'd known a month or two. today police arrested damon sams of southeast on murder charges. another big story tonight at 10:00 comedian stephen colbert taking his act to

capitol hill. the fake newsman testified in character at a house subcommittee hearing today tackling several important issues, among them illegal immigration and migrant farming. fox 5's matt ackland has the story. >> reporter: it was a media frenzy, a long line of journalists and members of the public lined up inside the rayburn building, the hearing room filling in minutes. >> i certainly hope my star power can bump this hearing all the way up to cspan 1. >> reporter: it started out well but just as he does each night, colbert tackled serious issues with a large helping of sarcasm. >> america's farms are presently far too dependent on immigrant labor to pick our fruits and vegetables. now the obvious answer is for all of to us stop eating fruits and vegetables. >> reporter: you might be thinking what does a popular comedian know about illegal immigration and migrant farming? well, not that much. the reason he was invited to testify today is because he volunteeredwork as a migrant worker for one day.

>> i have to say and i do mean this sincerely, please don't make me do this again. it is really, really hard. >> reporter: there were a few half smiles and a couple of chuckles from the house members. some even appeared uncomfortable with colbert's remarks. >> i would like to recommend that now that we've got all this attention that you excuse yourself and that you let us get on with the three witnesses. >> i'm here at the invitation of the chairwoman and if she would like me to remove myself from the hearing room, i'm happy to do. so. >> reporter: colbert stayed and answered several questions after his statement. we caught up with a spectator outside. >> we've had lots of witnesses here from the media and the entertainment world. talking about all kinds of things. so i don't -- and he didn't really say anything disrespectful. >> reporter: some republicans have publicly said democrats

were wrong for inviting colbert to speak about such serious issues, but others say colbert used humor to bring attention to things not talked about enough. >> i trust that following my testimony both side will work together -- sides will work together on this issue in the best interest of the american people, as you always do. >> reporter: matt ackland, fox 5 news. >> joining us now to talk more about colbert's testimony is allison mcsherry, a reporter for the capitol hill paper roll call. you were there today. justine bateman from family ties testified on neat neutrality before congress. she can barely figure out -- on net neutrality before congress. she can barely figure out twitter. what's the big problem with stephen colbert? >> no one really knew what they were going to get, an earnest serious stephen colbert or the character from the colbert report and it turned out to be the latter and i think frankly, it shocked a lot of people. >> it's easy to be stereo typical and blame the republicans for not having a sense of humor, but it was tell

cat jon conyers who tried to kick him -- democrat jon conyers who tried to kick him out. >> i was in the hearing and frankly, it was pretty tense. i think a lot of people were floored by the way he handled himself. i don't think everybody was really expecting him to kind of do a tongue in cheek approach to this, but yeah, conyers did ask him to leave and chairman lofgren said it was okay for him to stick around. he stayed. he delivered a great stand-up performance. don't know if you'd consider it a great performance before congress, but it was certainly something to see. >> from their point of view, i mean does it make a mock riff congress or does it do what celeb -- mockery of congress or does it do what celebrities should do which is bring attention to this? >> that's really the big question here. when you look back, elmo has testified before congress on behalf of children who are into musical education. so it's really a hard question to answer. it runs the gamut from expert to celebrity, but in the end of the day a lot of people watched

today and we're paying attention to the immigration issue. i don't know how often that happens. >> i guess the entire premise here was a joke. it was a comedian talking about his one day working with migrant workers. if we back out of this a little, does this perhaps set a bad precedent? >> that's a very good question and like i said, the precedent in the past is there are celebrities in the hill every week testifying on behalf of things, some of whom have a lot less experience than mr. colbert's eight or 10 hours in the field. so it's kind of a run of the mill occurrence on the hill. i think the big difference this time around was that stephen colbert is so well known and was such a comedian about it and took a very different approach than usual and that's really what drew everyone's eyes to him this morning. >> i think some people would say it was refreshing to see. we appreciate your time, thank for coming in. for more about today's testimony you can head over to www.myfoxdc.com and watch more of the hearing for yourself. coming up tonight drug dealers try to slip 21 pounds

of pot past customs. take a look. >> a major drug bust at dulles airport and wait until you see how the suspects tried to conceal their drugs. and the story that has a lot of people talking, auto workers caught on camera chugging beer on their lunch break. tonight fellow employees sound off on the scandal coming up. >> another day with this record heat, close to 100 degrees. let's get it out of here. it will be nicer for the weekend. we'll have your forecast coming up in a bit. 

right here in this neighborhood, i grew up learning strong families and hard work means opportunity. and that starts with good schools. it's a tradition here in maryland-- and why in these tough times i've put education first. we've made record investments in our classrooms... doubled the number of charter schools... and we've frozen college tuition for four years in a row. and it's working. experts say we now have the number one schools in the nation. when it comes to expanding opportunity in every neighborhood, i know that we must do even better.

that is 21-pound of marijuana discovered at dulles international parent wednesday. it was hidden in packages -- airport wednesday. it was hidden in packages headed for new york. the drugs were airshipped to dulles but couldn't make it past the nose of a drug sniffing dog. fox 5's wisdom martin has the story. >> reporter: out of all the luggage and other items that

came through dulles airport wednesday night one really stood out, especially to law enforcement. what looked like packages of chocolate was anything but store bought candy. >> of course, when they opened it up and tested the products, it turned out to be marijuana. >> reporter: concealed in 20 packages of individually wrapped chocolate was 21 pounds of marijuana, estimated street value $17,000. >> take off the cardboard and it had a foil on there. you peel off the foil and it's right there. it was all marijuana, about i want to say eight bricks of it. >> reporter: the bricks were in an individual mailbag heading from mexico city to new york when a canine unit caught a whiff of the drug. >> it's always a surprise the way they try to conceal it because people can get very resourceful. >> reporter: customs agent say they make about one bust per month here at the airport and not all of those busts involve drugs. >> some of the more strange things that i've seen are monkey's heads. we see live crabs all the time.

that's not that weird. people bring in their cultural foods. >> reporter: that's why investigators say it's important to have the highly trained canines inspecting everything including international parcels, luggage, contraband and explosives. >> people obviously want these items or they're willing to pay for it anyway. so they'll get it here any way they can. >> reporter: reporting at dulles wisdom martin, fox 5 news. more charges tonight against a man police nicknamed the preppy burglar because of the way he's dressed. they arrested jeremy hall yesterday at his home in silver spring after this surveillance video generated a tip. it shows hall allegedly breaking into april house in highland, maryland. police say -- a house in highland, maryland. police say hall is facing charges from a second burglary stemming from a break-in at a house in spencerville back in august. the gloves are coming off at the governor's race. o'malley and ehrlich unleashed a round of tough new ads

online. >> reporter: in ellicott city, maryland, friday. >> maryland governor the honorable martin o'malley. [ applause ] >> reporter: old school face to face politics on display. >> maryland is recovering faster than other states. >> reporter: but as the o'malley/ehrlich rematch enters its final rounds the real rough and tumble is being fought online. >> but who cares? not martin o'malley. >> bob ehrlich raised my property taxes and now he says he didn't. >> reporter: these are just some of the latest web only political ads that both the ehrlich and o'malley campaigns have been unleashing on each other via their youtube channels. >> these tax increases come standard with such classics as the new corporate transfer tax increase. >> my family definitely cannot afford another four years of bob ehrlich. >> reporter: they are blunt, take no prisoners but are now a big part of a maryland governor's race that most polls still have at a statistical tie. >> but it has to be good and it has to be viral.

>> reporter: professor leonard steinhorn of american university says unlike 30 second tv ads the web videos can be as long or as nasty as they want to be. >> i think they can get away with some more outrageous visuals than they might be able to do on television. >> reporter: but while we often hear politicians denouncing negative advertising, you'd be hard pressed to find any apologies in this race. in fact, governor o'malley says his online strategy is an important part of getting out his message. >> i believe that's probably the best thing that our campaign has going for it. >> reporter: robert ehrlich was in st. mary's county friday and his spokesman said of the o'malley campaign he can't run on his own record because it's a record of failures. so they're just trying to distract voters with these web attacks. in ellicott city, tom fitzgerald, fox 5 news. here we go again, the president of iran once again raising eyebrows. coming up next what he said about the 9/11 attacks and why he was not happy when he gave

an exclusive interview to fox news. and later a college scam, the school thought it booked one of the hottest new rappers around. that didn't happen. we're back after this. oweanyo

four years ago, bob ehrlich got fired as governor of maryland. for good reason.

first, he protected tax loopholes for giant cable cable companies. then, he let utilities jack up our rates 72%. and for the last four years, he worked as a hired gun for big corporations, even a bank that took billions from a taxpayer funded bailout. ehrlich sides with corporate executives again and again and again tell bob ehrlich big banks and billionares don't need help. middle class marylanders do.

millions and millions of americans by claiming that the u.s. government had a hand in 9/11. quite frankly, sir, how could you say such an insane and nutty thing? >> would you address your own president the same way? >> reporter: president mahmoud ahmadinejad wasn't very happy with the way the interview started. the iranian leader claimed his statement about 9/11 is one of three theories on the attacks. do you believe that the government had a hand in 9/11? >> i did not give an opinion of my own. i actually suggested that a fact finding group and mission be formed to delve into the truth. that's why i proposed. >> reporter: al qaeda officials have taken credit. osama bin laden has taken credit. it seems very clear. >> that's fine, but the fact finding mission can shed light on who the perpetrators were,

who is al buyed? who is it backed by and -- alibied? who is it backed by? >> reporter: the president had -- the president said well, it was defensive and hateful for him to make the statement just a little north of ground zero where families lost their loved ones, people of all faiths and ethnicities who see this as a tragedy of this generation, for him to make a statement like that was inexcusable. i talked to the president ahmadinejad about a wide range of issues including eye rap's controversial disputed nuke -- iran's controversial disputed nuclear program. he again claims iran does not want a nuclear bomb. he also said iran does not support terrorism but he did wish the american people well. another story that has people talking tonight, auto workers caught on camera pounding beers during their lunch break. their co-workers sound off on the scandal coming up next. also ahead.

the wine. that means this year eric is under more pressure than to ever make sure any critters that are out here don't end up in there. >> he wants me to get the stink bugs out of the grapes so he doesn't have the stink bug in the wine. >> reporter: it's worked. three found a pesticide pyrethrin that's effective but very expensive. worth it, though. >> this is what the juice looks like coming off the press. >> reporter: no stink bugs. >> no stink bugs. >> reporter: now that most of their games have been picked you'd think they could relax about the stink bugs, but eric's battling the bug on the home front with his kids. >> how do you explain to a 4- year-old that it's only a bug. she's like oh, i can't sleep in my room. i'm like oh, great, you know. so not only do i have to worry about my vineyards, but i don't get any sleep at night either because i've got a 4-year-old in my bed. >> reporter: maybe a glass of wine will help with the sleeping. the first lady doing some

the resolution urges textbook publishers to limit what they print about islam in world history books. community members say they feel the need to fend off what they call a pro-islam anti-christian bias in the school system. >> there's nothing too offensive about it as far as i can see. we just want to make sure what my view is, that judaism and christianity are presented with the proper roles that they have in world histoand it's just gigantic, but in the books you have to search for it. >> the resolution also vows to reject future books submissions from publishers that favor one religion over another. critics say the resolution is biased and they plan to fight it. oprah winfrey is usually giving advice to her guests. now she's passing it on to d.c. school chancellor michelle rhee. on today's show oprah said rhee should be hired as the new superintendent of the newer school system. rhee appeared on the oprah show earlier this month. rhee did not comment on oprah's

reed would score twice in the 1st half. the two-point conversion here would be good. 14-0 clarkbsurg at the break. 4th quarter, clarkbsurg senior runs it in from 9 yards out, another missed two-point conversion, 20-0 clarkbsurg and that is your final. clarkbsurg head coach larry hurd very impressed with the defensive evident in that shutout. >> our defense has been -- effort in that shutout. >> our defense has been great all year. last week we didn't help them too much. we didn't move the ball, but this week they were outstanding and the coach does a great job coordinating our defense. we rely on our defense a lot. >> thanks to one who voted this week. we had close to 56,000 vote totals coming in. so keep it up. coming up in sports at 11:00 an update on trent williams and the redskins as they prepare for the rams. we'll send it back to the desk. a hot night for those kids to be out playing football. >> take a walk up the street, sweating out there. >> it's real hot. it's still hot out there right now. >> okay. is it going to continue?

>> it's going to be hot most of the night, but it will be cooler for the weekend. how about that? you'll be shocked i think to realize how much cooler it will be by this time sunday. temperatures on sunday will be some 25 degrees cooler for highs than what we had today believe it or not, but again it's very mild, very muggy out there. it's still 85 degrees right now in the city. in september at 10:00 we're talking about temperatures in the middle 80s, quantico 83, gaithersburg 82, dulles the same, a couple of 70s out there, one with martinsburg at 78 degrees. record high temperatures today all around, reagan national 99, dulles 97,bwi marshall 95 degrees. this is interesting, 99 here in d.c. and along the east coast from philly right down into south carolina all real hot today, everybody in the 90s.

cincinnati hot, 92 degrees. there's cooler weather, though, back to the northwest of us, but i wanted you it see this. we were almost as hot today here in d.c. as what they had in phoenix at 101 degrees for a high there and we were warmer than las vegas. they were 96 for a high today. so definitely the concentration of the heat is right here along the east coast for us, but notice today's high in minneapolis 61, bismarck in the 50s today under the banner here. so there is some cooler air. it will eventually be sliding on down. it's coming in a couple of ways. we get a little bit in here tomorrow. still going to be warm, high temperature of 87 degrees, but look at sunday, temperature for highs only in the lower to mid- 70s. looks like we'll stay dry on sunday, but we will be mostly cloudy, limited amounts of sunshine and that will help to keep the temperature down, too. on monday and tuesday we're talking about temperatures staying in the 70s to right around 80 and a lot of rain it looks like coming in for monday and tuesday around here, but that's good.

we need it. 87 tomorrow, again plenty of sunshine, winds a bit breezy out of west, 10 to 15 miles per hour, much cooler with mostly cloudy conditions, but staying dry at least for sunday. now maybe by sunday night we'll have a few showers starting to come up from the south and southwest. good today, hot conditions, loads of sunshine. we are completely dominated by high pressure. back out to the west tonight, though, a couple of showers moving through ohio into west virginia, western sections of pennsylvania. these will all fall apart, though. we have may see a couple of clouds from these showers, but i just can't imagine how this comes across and brings us any rain and by the way, here's front no. 1 moving in tomorrow morning and it will begin to cool things down a little by tomorrow afternoon. here is front no. 2 and that will be coming in late, late tomorrow night into early sunday and that will help to bring temperatures down even more. so loads of sunshine, especially for the first part of the day tomorrow, mid-70s to

start, 83 at noon and 87 for a high temperature tomorrow right around 5:00 or so. here's tomorrow morning, a couple clouds at 9 a.m., later in the day plenty of sunshine. sunday the clouds come in. it will be cooler sunday, but all things considered it won't be too terribly bad, especially after that 99 today and the rain stays to the south until monday. a wet monday commute and the rain sticks around all day monday and at least into portions of tuesday and in terms of had that rain gets here or gets out, how much -- of when that rain gets here or gets out, how much rain we get, the confidence on that forecast is low, but it does look like we're going to get the rain again monday and tuesday. so enjoy the cooler weekend. tomorrow will be real nice. a reminder on this hot day of the lingering costs of winter. fema is giving millions of dollars to d.c., maryland and virginia to cover the costs from snowstorms last december and february.

d.c. will get about $2.3 million, montgomery county gets 2.6 million bringing the total for that state to $30 million. in this latest round of funding virginia got $6.2 million. did you see it? a political forum turned physical in nevada. a fight broke out yesterday between supporters of incumbent senator harry reid and his republican salinger sharon angle it. started when a -- challenger sharon angle. it started when a supporter tried to leave and things came to blows. security guards jumped in. no one was arrested. the race to the midterm election is on. both republicans and democrats are fired up trying to sell their message to the american people. earlier today i talked about it with fox news sunday host chris wallace. it's been a busy political week here in washington, the gop unveiling its campaign blueprint, a plan the democrats call more talk than ideas. what can we expect this weekend on fox news sunday?
